Looking at the cell phone
The cell phone evidence is probably okay bc the whoever found the phone stumbled upon the incriminating videos while they were looking through the phone for the purpose of finding the owner. They didn’t need a warrant at the time they were looking through the phone bc they weren’t looking to find evidence of a crime, rather, they were being reasonable people trying to help get somebody their phone back.
It’s noteworthy that the people who found the phone are also victims now bc their lives are forever changed for having been exposed to that sort of violence against children. It’s trauma for anyone to witness that even if the person doesn’t realize it at the time.
